Stone Points

[Marc St Louis]

I've started doing a bit of knapping this past few months and had some success. My early points are serviceable but not that great. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it though. My latest attempt are quite sharp and I wouldn't hesitate to use them hunting, although not that great looking. They are just under 1" wide, about 1 1/2" long and less than 1/4" thick. Here's a pic

look good man, all that matters is sharp and pointy

[MattE]

Not bad at all. You even serrated the edges. It took me forever to learn how to do that! What material did you use?

[Marc St Louis]

Thanks guys.
I don't know what the material is. It's something that Paul gave me a couple years ago. Very nice stuff and it flakes well. It's black with blue streak going through it. I assumed it was chert. I don't have a side view right now but will get one.

Them look good Marc!! Reminds me of me a few years ago when I'd sit in a hotel room after work on the road and work my hands raw with my homemade pressure flaker. I tell ya, I was eat up with it and was going to learn come hell or high water . I still got lotsa rocks if your gettin low...
